Before being arrested, Yadav had earlier on July 24 asserted that he would cooperate with the police in the investigation.

Yadav was booked under relevant Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) after one of the accused, Vijay Kumar, arrested in connection with the incident claimed that he had done it at the behest of the AAP MLA.

The AAP MLA, who has been questioned twice earlier in connection with this case, has so far refuted all charges.

The Mehrauli MLA has alleged it to be a ‘political conspiracy’ to malign the party’s image ahead of the Punjab Assembly polls.
